Fix your eyes on the centre of the image below for a minimum of 30 seconds, and try not to avert your gaze during this time. Now close your eyes and tilt your head back. You should see a circle of light. With your eyes still closed continue looking at the circle. An astonishing image should slowly emerge.
As you move your eyes around the image, dark dots quickly appear and disappear at the intersections. However, whenever you look directly on any intersection, the dark dots vanish
In this test, you must name the colours in which the words printed, not read the words. Name the colours out loud in order (left to right, starting at the top) as fast as you can.
Most people take much longer, or make more errors (or both) when naming the colours where the text names a colour that does not correspond to the colour it is printed in. The brain battles with conflicting information, which to believe - the visual colour or the word.

People’s faces are much less symmetrical than we might think. These photographs show two composite faces constructed by taking each side of the original face and joining it up with its mirror image. Look at the large photograph, which is the real face, and then at the composite’s. Decide which composite picture looks most like the original? Then read the text below.
Chances are that you will have picked the left side of the face (left from your viewpoint). Research shows that in judging identity or personality, we tend to rely more heavily on information from the left side of someone’s face. You can test this by viewing the mirror image of the face: (below) you may now think the other composite as more similar.
